Report: FBI Has Been Flying Drones Over the U.S. Since 2006

Surprised?

What we don’t know that our government is doing or has done is surely much scarier than what we do know.

WASHINGTON (ThBlaze/AP) — The FBI has been using drones to support its law enforcement operations since 2006 and has spent more than $3 million on the unmanned aircraft, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog said Thursday.

The disclosure came in a new report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, who revealed that the department also has awarded $1.26 million to at least seven local police departments and non-profit organization for drones.
